Women's Shelters

Smiles Forever aims to economically empower poor indigenous women through career opportunity, therefore creating leaders who can end the cycle of poverty at the source.

“Smiles Forever is a non-profit foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life for impoverished children through free preventative and restorative dentistry supported by a unique educational model for disadvantaged women and mothers to become professional dental hygienists within the Smiles Forever foundation. Since 2000, over 37,000 impoverished children have received quality, complete, free, preventative and restorative dental care while 37 disadvantaged indigenous women (mostly single mothers) have completed the Smiles Forever two year vocational dental hygiene program that provides the dental care to impoverished children through the program's community service clinic and community outreach programs to rural areas outside of Cochabamba, Bolivia.”
